of his queen. Maryland entered the Union in 1788 when George Washington selected the shores of the Potomac as the site of the National capital. The state of Maryland gave the 70 square miles that now make up the District of Columbia. Pages of history unfold in Maryland. It was the famous night shelling of Fort McHenry that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the “Star Spangled Banner,” the national anthem. George Washington, led his troops down the Old Post| Road. Frederick, Maryland, was the home of Barbara Fritche; Edgar Allen Poe lived in Baltimore; and John Paul Jones was an adopted son of Maryland. Because of its harbors and waterways, ship building became one of the state’s earliest industries. As early as 1700, sailing ships built in Maryland were carrying goods to Europe, the West Indies, and the Azores. Today, the building of steel ships and airplanes forms the largest single industry in the state. Maryland is the home of the famous Johns Hopkins University, with its fine medical school, clinics and research laboratories. Baltimore is one of the leading centers of research. From farms, truck gardens and waterways throughout the state, come fish, fruits and vegetables to be canned. Baltimore cans more food than any other city in America. The hostess served lovely refreshments. The next meeting will be January 30 with Mrs. Lloyd Ahr. .

Long Battle Isforeseen On Tax Cuts WASHINGTON (UPI) —Republican attacks on President Kennedy’s record budget pointed today to a session-long battle that could figure heavily in hopes for a substantial tax cut. Democratic leaders defended the President’s $98.8 billion spending plan, with its $11.9 billion deficit,- as ■’essential to national security and economic progress. But GOP members on both sides of the Capitol denounced it as irresponsible, misleading, radical, and calculated to take the nation closer to fiscal disaster. From their concentrated attack Jt was apparent that the Republican members thought they knew a good thing when they saw it, and they were not about to let the chance pass. Some influential Democrats joined the Republicans in denouncing the plan. They said there was little chance for a tax cut unless the budget is trimmed drastically. Several Democratic leaders called the budget progressive and sound, but they were in the minority. Chairman Clarence Cannon, DMo., of the House Appropriations Committee said the budget was unbalanced because “we are spending money we do not have on things we could get along without.” He scheduled a committee meeting Monday to start studying the budget. House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., said the budget makes a mockery of the administration’s brave talk of letting the taxpayer keep more of his own money through tax reduction. What the taxpayer thinks he will save will be taken away from him either by so-called ‘tax reform’ or by an increase in the cost of living.” Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., called it “incredible” and said “we are told that the New Frontier is going to get over its chronic deficits by having a deficit so big that the nation will enjoy rapid growth and the jobless will commence returning to work.” It seemed to mean, he said, that “the best way to correct mistakes is to make bigger ones.”

Man Charged With High Seas Assault GALVESTON, Tex. (UPI)— James Sprayberry, 37, of Sulphur Springs, Fla., was charged with assault on the high seas Thursday night for forcing a shrimp boat captain and a crew member overboard. Sprayberry told the Coast Guard that he forced the two men overboard because he feared for his life. The Coast Guard said the act occurred last Sunday in the bay of Campeche off the coast of Mexico on the shrimp boat “Three G’s.” Walter R. McCarthy, 30, captain of the “Three G’s,” and second mate Robert G. Nieves, 29, said Sprayberry, the first mate, went berserk Sunday afternoon and was tied up. They said he later broke loose and put them : overboard. It was not made clear by the Coast Guard whether the men were forced into the water or onto another boat. Sprayberry was brought to Galveston County jail under SI,OOO bond. The Dione carried statements from McCarthy and Nieves when it docked at Galveston. The two men, who retook command of the 60-foot shrimper, have been out of radio contact 650 miles away in the Gulf of Mexico. W. W. Gore of Freeport, Tex., owner of the boat, said he has been trying to establish contact by radio-telephone ever since the incident was reported. ‘We don’t know any more than the Coast Guard has been able to learn by radio.” Gore said. “We don’t expect them to come into port before February.” The Coast Guard put McCarthy and Nieves back aboard the ship after Sprayberry surrendered, saying he feared his life was in danger. It was not made 'known why Sprayberry was afraid. Driver Is Charged With Running Light Walter G. Roehm, 24. route 1, Willshire, 0., arrested this morning at 7:15 o’clock by the city police for running a red light at the intersection of Monroe and 13th streets. Roehm will appear in justice of the peace court at 7 p.m., Tuesday. January 22, to answer to the charge. COMPROMISE (Continued from Page One) except the GOP plan calls for 60 senators instead of 50. The big argument ahead centers over the method of achievement,, once the district lines have been I approved by party leaders on both , sides. The Democrats want the I plan carried out this session'. The ' Republicans want it by constitutional amendment, which they figure could be enacted by 1965

and go into existence in the 1967 Legislature. The Democratic plan would be effective in 1965. Kizer made a pitch for immeriate redistricting saying that “if the general assembly will pass a reapportionment bill which we have placed in the reapportionment committee, then we will be willing to join the Republican members in a proposed constitutional amendment which would give to the people an opportunity to pass upon the compromise plan for the Senate which we have incorporated in the bilL” Sets Up Enumeration The bill to which Kizer refers creates an enumeration committee which would certify to the current legislature that the 1960 federal census is the basis for the redistricting. The constitution says reapportionment is to be carried out each six years on the basis of a special enumeration of male citizens. The Republicans claim the Democratic method of achievement is unconstitutional. But since the Republicans need Democratic help in the Senate to pass any bill because of the 25-24 membership, observers were inclined to believe the compromise offered by Kizer might be accepted in the Senate once the dust of political argument settles. But the House, which has 56 members to 44 for the Democrats, poses another situation. A House GOP caucus late Thursday on reapportionment brought word from Speaker Richard Guthrie that the Republican representatives “appear to be more united than ever” in favor of the constitutional amendment route. The pending constitutional amendment concerning terms of sheriffs was reported out of committee Thursday, survived a Democratic assault, and now is scheduled for final action Tuesday. Once it is killed, the GOP apportionment plan can be introduced and the movement of the two plans toward eventual commitment to a joint compromise corAof the two chambers wfll begin. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
